Karen - Owner

Has been owner and manager of Jaycliffe since the beginning of July 2007, she and the family have been involved in all aspects of pet ownership including breeding and showing dogs and cats for over 20 years. Karen does a bit of everything from accounts to grooming and kennel work. Karen has several adult Miniature Schnauzers and sometimes puppies as well, Karen also has 2 mischievous Bengal cats and lots of goats. Karen previously had a farm and used to have horses and has always enjoyed spending time with animals. Owning a kennels was a lifelong dream and since it became a reality she has enjoyed every minute.

Rebecca

My name is Becky - Karen's Oldest Daughter and I live either in Chesterfield or at Jaycliffe to suit the demands of the business. I spend most of my time in the office answering the phone, taking bookings, doing contracts and general office work. I supervise the staff on a daily basis and am in charge when my mother Karen is not here.

Sophie

I am Sophie – Karen’s younger daughter and I live at Jaycliffe. I have worked here first of all part time whilst at school and then full time for the last 4 years. I have a Rottweiler called Zoey who most of the customers have met as she loves being fed biscuits in reception. I have 3 chickens which come when I call them and like sitting on my knee. I also had a Cavalier Ruby who sadly died last year. I am the main Supervisor and spend most of my time with the boarding animals but also work in reception and help with the office work. I love all animals and hate it if people are unkind or cruel to them.

Carly

My name is Carly and I live in Aston with my family and 2 Springer Spaniels – Poppy and Daisy which love coming to work with me every day. I love going for long walks with my dogs and play football in a ladies team. I started at Jaycliffe in 2010 as an apprentice and work most of the time with the boarding animals as well as Supervising a couple of days a week. I have recently completed my grooming training and now lead the grooming team. I also do most of the updates and pictures on Facebook and enjoy talking to people about their pets.

Claire

Hi I’m Claire and I have worked at Jaycliffe for the last 3 years. I love all animals and have 3 large dogs, 2 horses and 4 rabbits of my own. I work in boarding and grooming and drive the van to collect dogs and cats as well as fetching supplies etc. when needed. I love working with animals and would hate to have an office type job – meeting all the animals and their owners is much more interesting.
